Far North social service provider He Korowai Trust has been delivering vital services to families on the fringes. These are hard to reach whānau who require innovative approaches for further support because they often have multiple complex and interacting issues.

The Trust is delivering housing, budgeting, whānau assistance and restorative justice programmes. It also runs self-help horticultural programmes that provide people with food as well as skills.

Te Puni Kōkiri is working with the Trust to prepare a business case to secure ongoing financial support for the valuable and unique services that the Trust provides.
